DevOps is an immensely popular topic. And there is frequent debate over whether practicing DevOps makes your applications more secure or less secure. So we conducted a blind study to research the state of Secure DevOps. We will share our findings such as:

What tools and processes are mature DevOps shops using?
How mature is the average DevOps shop?
How is application security thought of in DevOps methodology?
Common misunderstandings around application security and the resulting risk.
See how we incorporated these findings to help you integrate application security into an Agile or DevOps methodology. You need not compromise.

To accelerate your business outcomes should you use public or private cloud? The jury has decided and the verdict is: “hybrid.” So you need to manage a hybrid cloud, but what does this exactly mean? Hybrid Cloud Management means managing the entire cloud lifecycle: from design, through workload provisioning, to operations (e.g. monitoring, finance, change, and configuration). This Cloud Model Office webinar will show you Hybrid Cloud Management use cases in action. In this webinar you will see how you can implement capabilities like

The IT landscape has become very complex, but at a foundational level IT operations still revolve around four primary areas: Infrastructure, Development, Security, and Data. This webinar will cover three different aspects of CompTIA’s new IT framework:

-Description of the four domains and the way they interact to produce high-value business systems.

-Overview of how these four domains change with the introduction of new trends like cloud computing, mobility, Internet of Things, or virtual reality

-Examination of the different skills and career paths within the framework.

Everyone providing IT services—from CIO to team lead to staff engineer to solution provider—can use this framework to understand the way that the four pillars of IT can be used to build business systems and create user experience for digital organizations.

IT departments are constantly searching for new ways to optimize the speed, quality, and cost of their IT Service Management (ITSM) activities. Surprisingly, one solution that is often overlooked in the optimization process is the increased usage of a discovery tool within a configuration management system (CMS) to be the powerhouse for all ITSM, ITAM, operations analytics, and even network management processes.

This webinar will take a deep dive into the uses of discovery tools and how they can be greater leveraged into all facets of ITSM, ITAM, operations analytics, and network management processes for increased value creation.

Almost everyone is undergoing digital transformation, but not everyone knows the right way to do it. In a recent MuleSoft survey, 96 percent of respondents are executing on digital transformation initiatives or planning to do so in the near future. However, the results also showed that just 18 percent of IT decision makers are confident that they will succeed in meeting this year’s digital transformation goals. To do this effectively, IT teams need different skill sets, tools, and more importantly, different mindsets. Join Bill Briggs, CTO at Deloitte, and Ross Mason, Founder and VP of Product Strategy at MuleSoft, to learn how IT can grow beyond “business as usual".

NoSQL databases like Cassandra and Couchbase are quickly becoming key components of the modern IT infrastructure. But this modernization creates new challenges – especially for storage. Storage in the broad sense. In-memory databases perform well when there is enough memory available. However, when data sets get too large and they need to access storage, application performance degrades dramatically. Moreover, even if enough memory is available, persistent client requests can bring the servers to their knees.

Join Storage Switzerland and Plexistor where you will learn:

1. What is Cassandra and Couchbase?
2. Why organizations are adopting them?
3. What are the storage challenges they create?
4. How organizations attempt to workaround these challenges.
5. How to design a solution to these challenges instead of a workaround.

83% of recently surveyed companies agree that end-to-end visibility is critical to operating a hybrid cloud.

94% state that a single integrated solution is needed to monitor Hybrid IT environments.

But how do you monitor private and public cloud services? How do you make sure you're delivering appropriately? What if you're paying far too much for services you consume? Does monitoring providers give access to any use? With the new HPE Operations Bridge Suite, we'll show you how you can address these issues, and with the help of our customer Vodofone Group, you'll learn what benefits you can extract through adopting it

We’ve lived in the “golden age” of application performance management (APM)… But we’ve operated in data silos. IT Ops teams focus on performance and availability of services in the backend, while developers focus on tracing and troubleshooting of poor transactions. Meanwhile, the marketing team monitors user adoption and flows, business data and customer sentiment.

But no one is managing the bigger picture. It’s not enough to simply know if the app is performing slowly or if the server is down.

Today’s digital businesses require the IT Ops and Applications teams to go beyond monitoring infrastructure Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to including a basic understanding of technology’s impact on the end user experience. Traditional APM tools must evolve even further to link application performance with KPIs that matter to the business. Managing today’s digital user experience demands closer alignment with business requirements and ever changing customer expectations.

Join us for this live webcast to learn how HPE AppPulse Suite helped St. Louis-based Ameren Corporation:
